text: Based in France but want a remote worker, you can be anywhere<p>I am acting as intermediary for a local education company here, that is not in tech and mostly tech illiterate. Lots of small to medium missions. You will deal with me, but mostly looking people who are able to work from a basic set of requirements (it needs to do this, have to have this and that, cannot have this and that, respect this theme color) rather than hand holding every step.<p>For now I&#x27;m looking for:<p>- frontend developper oriented mobile and tablet: capable to take a not so pretty but decently made desktop site of 6-10 pages at the most and make it usable on mobile, mostly with alternative css and with as little html change as necessary. Need to solve: leads source moved from 90% desktop to barely above 50%, site horrible to use on mobile.<p>HTML &#x2F; CSS &#x2F; JS<p>- website ux designer for a single purpose web app: make the mockups, get them validated, make the final design, get them validated. Optionally make the final html, but original plan is to use a frontend dev to turn the design into code. Need to solve: quizz and exams online.<p>Emails me at v.thivaut@gmail.com
